He will make stops on his way to the capital — with gigs also announced for Aberdeen, Stirling and Glasgow.
The singer-songwriter has promised surprises with the full line-up not yet announced.
Frank said: 'Coming to Scotland for the first time.
'The festival promises to be another brilliant four days of live music across two stages, panels, open mic and much, much more.
'We can't wait to see you all there.'
Turner, from Meonstoke, Hampshire, started his career as the singer in post-hardcore band Million Dead before going solo.
He is known for acoustic performances incorporating punk and hard rock and raucous shows with his backing group The Sleeping Souls.
The musician launched Lost Evenings in 2017 — with sets from the likes of KT Tunstall, The Hold Steady and Pedro The Lion over the years.
Edinburgh will host the party between September 25 and 28.
Turner will play Aberdeen's The Lemon Tree on September 21, plays Stirling's Albert Halls the next night, then Glasgow's SWG3 TV Studio two nights before the festival kicks off.
